Solution of each treatment was at 60 degrees. All treatments were 
for 12 hours. We feel the difference in favor of heated bulbs would 
have been greater, had our solution been 20 degrees warmer. Height 
of plants of Del Ray, from heated bulbs was 8 to 10 inches taller 
than from the other two treatments. This may have been due to 
more favorable weather conditions.

Acids listed above were used for the number of minutes indicated 
and then the twenty four hours completed with water. All bulblets 
planted to a depth of 2 inches, gauged with board at edges of trench. 
Our conclusion from all our tests is that if the rain packs the dirt 
too hard you will have poor growth. Peat moss mulching, burlap 
covering and similar treatment have proved the most satisfying to 
us. We also tried freezing bulblets all winter, and found the germ¬ 
ination good. We made a mistake in not using the same bulblets as 
above however. We will again try freezing this season. We have at 
times found bulblets that were not planted, and notice that the aged 
bulblets germinate very readily. It would be a mistake to try to gain 
by holding over however. 
We are in receipt of many late varieties, which were sent us, but 
which were not required to be checked. These we have not included. 
This service is for the originator, the bulb dealer, commercial 
growers, and the general buying public. It is therefore somewhat 
general in character. Our check is very thorough and complete, and 
_you wish more detailed information, please write and ask us. If 
you honestly, even at the loss of a little income. 
f WE EARNESTLY ASK YOU HYBRIDZERS RECEIVING THIS 
I REPORT TO SEND US YOUR SEEDUNGS AND NEW VAR- 
\ lETIES FOR TRIAL. We will, if you so request, return stock sent, 
^^ou tell us the use you make of your glads, we will try to advise 
together with increase. For reference we give you. Grant Misch, J. 
H. Heberling, Mrs. Anna Miller as to our return. You are taking no 
chance, unless it is that we might slip away with some of the bulb¬ 
lets and later let them come into cutthroat competition. We do not 
SELL BULBS OR FLOWERS, BUT AT PRESENT ARE LISTING 
OUR PERSONAL BULBS for sale. These are too good to give away, 
or throw away, but we wish to stay as a Trial Garden only. IF your 
variety does well, and you approve of our check card of it, we will 
include it in this report. If it does not we will pass it up and make 
no mention of it. We will check for a three-year period, which we 
think long enough. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY ARRANGEMENT 
THAT WOULD BE MORE FAIR TO YOU, PLEASE TELL US OF IT
